PLN 11

What matters today is a plane crash, similar to 9-11, in Austin TX. A man, who was mad with the IRS, crashed a plane into the revenue service building in Austin. This matters because he killed many people, just because he had personal issues. Not everyone at the IRS deserved to die, and this man out of anger, destroyed not only his life but many others. This situation matters because it shows that people can do horrible things with technology like airplanes, all because of their emotions. With so much technology today it is very easy to eliminate life, and people who are emotionally unstable, have the power to do so. This shows that using technology the wrong way, can turn a helpful tool like a plane, into the equivalent of a bomb. That is why we have to be careful with things like nuclear weapons, because eventually, we will end up destroying ourselves. This man had some personal issues, and he used the readily available technology to solve his problems.
